`ABSTRACT
`(5 7)
`A system for location tracking of mobile platforms, each
`mobile platform having a tracking unit is described. The
`system includes a location determination system communi-
`cating through a user interface with at least one subscriber;
`said communication including inputs that include the sub-
`scriber identity and the identity of the mobile platform to be
`located; a communication system communicating with said
`location determination system for receiving said remote plat-
`form identity; and,
`a plurality ofremote tracking systems communicating with
`said communication system for determining the location
`of the remote platform;
`The communication system is arranged to determine an
`appropriate one of the plurality of remote tracking systems
`and to communicate said remote platform identity, the appro-
`priate remote tracking system receiving said mobile platform
`identity and returning mobile platform location information.
`said communication system being arranged to pass said
`mobile platform location information to said location deten-
`tion system. The location determination system is arranged to
`receive said mobile platform location infomiation and to for-
`ward it to said subscriber.

`
`Pertinent Prosecution History
`
`A request for Ex Parte reexamination of the patent number 6,771,970 ("970 Patent") was
`
`filed by a third party requester (“Requester”) on October 13, 2014, assigned control number
`
`90/013,370 (‘"370 Request”).
`
`The ‘97O Patent is also the subject of two pending Inter Parte Reviews (lPRs), namely,
`
`lPR2014-00199 (IPR ‘199) and |PR2014-00920 (IPR ‘920). Regarding IPR ‘199, the Requester
`
`requested a review of claims 1-19 of the ‘97O Patent in view of Fitch alone and in combination
`
`with other references. On May 9, 2014, the PTAB denied all grounds proposed by the
`
`Requester, except one ground for claim 18 - a claim that is not at issue in this Ex Parte
`
`reexamination. Regarding IPR ‘920 (Claims 1-17 and 19 of the ‘970 Patent), the parties filed a
`
`Joint Motion to Terminate on May 15, 2015. The PTAB granted the Joint Motion to Terminate
`
`the proceeding on May 21, 2015.
`
`In response to the ‘370 Request, the Office mailed an “Order Granting Reexamination
`
`Request” on December 02, 2014 (“2014 Order”). In the 2014 Order, the Office indicated that
`
`claims 1-17 and 19 were subject to the instant reexamination.
`
`A non—final office action (“2015 Non—Fina| OA”) follows the 2014 Order after two—month
`
`waiting period for the patent owner‘s statement under 35 USC 304. The 2015 Non-Final OA was
`
`mailed on April 7,2015.
`
`The patent owner (“PO”) filed a response (“June 2015 PO Response”) on June 6, 2015.
`
`The June 2015 PO Response included an amendment (“June 2015 PO Amendment”), a remark
`
`(“June 2015 PO Remarks”) and an affidavit (“2015 PO Affidavit”).
`
`A final office action ("2015 Final OA") was mailed on August 12, 2015.
`
`The PO filed a response “August 2015 PO Response" on August 17, 2015. The August
`
`2015 PO Response included an amendment (“August 2015 PO Claim Amendment") and a
`
`remark (“August 2015 PO Remarks").

`
`Examiner's Amendment
`
`Please replace the August 2015 PO Claim Amendment with the enclosed claim
`
`amendment. The file’s name of the enclosed claim amendment is “Reexam No 90-013370 -
`
`Substitute Listing of claims for Examiner_s Amendment”
`
`The replacement is merely to fix the “non-compliant” problems in the August 2015 PO
`
`Claim Amendment such as underlining new claims 20-42 and using appropriate identifiers for
`
`the claims. The changes were authorized by the attorney of record on 9/15/2015.
`
`Statement of Reasons for Patentability and/or Confirmation
`
`Claims 1-17 and 19-42 are confirmed and/or patentable.
`
`Claim 1
`
`is confirmed because the prior art of record fails to disclose or make obvious the
`
`inclusion of the limitation, in addition to other limitations, that each location tracking system is
`
`"adapted to determine the location of a respective mobile platform according to a property that is
`
`predetermined for each mobile platform”. The including of this limitation defines patentability
`
`over the prior art of record because it defines a distinguished system for location tracking mobile
`
`platforms which has not been disclosed in the prior art of record. The Examiner agrees with the
`
`PO’s argument that Fitch does not disclose this limitation as explained in the 2015 PO’s
`
`Remarks on pages 14-17 which is incorporated herein by reference.
`
`Independent claims 14, 16, 19, 23, 38, 40 and 42 are confirmed and/or patentable for
`
`the same reasons discussed in claim 1.
`
`Claims 2-13, 15, 17, 20-22, 24-37, 39 and 41 are confirmed and/or patentable because
`
`they depend from confirmed and/or patentable independent claims.
